Mike over at Grabass, Have a Good Sandwich, Pittsburgh Bloggers, and maybe three or four other blogs, emailed me this link to Pittsburgh Magazine’s Our 25 Most Beautiful People with the subject line of his email as “Beautiful, my ass…”
Obviously this is meant to be a take on People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People, but Pittsburgh Magazine’s selections give me pause.

1. Why only 25? Why not 50?
2. When People Magazine does their list, “beautiful” means pretty damn hot. When Pittsburgh Magazine does their list, “beautiful” means about seven different things, among them being smart, rich, kind, ugly, hideous, big giant boobs, or pretty.
3. Sonni Abatta of COURSE is featured but with a pretty bad picture if you ask me. I have NEVER seen a good print picture of Sonni Abatta that does justice to her on-screen looks. Because for the first time ever, I saw Sonni Abatta do the news last week and I finally understand why so many people find my blog by searching for her name.
4. Why couldn’t Pittsburgh Magazine just be superficial for once and go by looks alone? That would have been WAY cool to see who the really hot Burghers are that we have not been privy to as of yet. I’m looking at YOU Matt Lamanna!
5. Where the hell is Wendy Bell?!Damn those WTAE make-up artists with their big giant makeup brushes and their elephant-weight hands! Can I get a FREE WENDY shirt somewhere?!

Look, I’m just going to say it. I don’t think that the third to the last chick (the student Jennifer) was chosen for any other reason than her big boobs. Is that mean of me? I mean, come on. She’s from MARYLAND. She’s not even a BURGHER!

Speaking of hot Burghers, there was a write up of your boy David Conrad in last week’s TVGuide. He, of course, talks about being on Ghost Whisperer and says, “It’s not a reality show. It’s about myths and what we wish for.” Conrad’s the pragmatic type: Born in Pittsburgh, he still keeps a house in that city, sports a Pittsburgh Steelers sign in his trailer on the Ghost Whisperer set and swears, “I just want to marry a girl from my hometown and have kids.”

And evidently Jennifer Love Hewitt says “he has a silly, goofy side, in the hair-and-makeup trailer in the morning, running around in his underwear wearing a cowboy hat, or putting on a blond ’80s wig and dancing like he’s David Bowie.”
